When is the right time to upgrade to a new PC? [I Love Computers]
I built my PC back in 2015. Cost me $715 for all the parts. Well, now it just seems like, it's kind of done its job, and I am thinking about the next step, which would be building a new PC.
Currently mine is:
Corsair 200L Mid-Tower gaming case
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 motherboard
AMD FX-8300 @3.3 ghz
32GB RAM (this is the boards maximum)
windows 10 (x64)
GTX 970
I asked this on Yahoo Answers and was told something like, even with an answer, that answer might be obsolete in two years time. But really what I'm looking for is like, do you recommend Intel or Ryzen? Windows or Linux? I tried Linux Mint out, but not really sure how I feel about it. The games side of it seemed to be a bit off.
And part of my problem building a PC is that even if I build a PC with say parts that are a year old, well in about 4 or 5 years time, the technology is going to advance that it'll be obsolete again.
